Chapter 3, Problem 23P
Program Plan Intro

Primary Key:

A Primary Key in a database table is a field in the table that uniquely identifies every row or record present in the database table.

Example:

Students in Universities are assigned a unique registration number.

Therefore, in a STUDENT database table, the attribute “reg_no” acts as primary key.

Foreign Key:

Foreign Key is a column in a relational database table which provides a relation between two tables. It provides a cross reference between tables by pointing to primary key of another table.

Example:

In STUDENT database table, the attribute “reg_no” acts as primary key and in COURSE database table in which the student selects his or her course, the same “reg_no” acts as foreign key for the STUDENT table.

Many to One Relationship:

When more than one record in a database table is associated with only one record in another table, the relationship between the two tables is referred as many to one relationship. It is also represented as M: 1 relationship.

One to Many Relationship:

When one record in a database table is associated with more than one record in another table, the relationship between the two tables is referred as one to many relationship. It is also represented as1: M relationship. This is the opposite of many to one relationship.

RELATIONAL DIAGRAM:

Relational Diagram is also known as Entity Relational Diagram. It is used to define the conceptual view of the database as viewed by the end user. It is used to depict the database’s main components: entities, relationships and attributes. It describes how data is related to each other.

What are the major threats of using the internet? How do you use it? How do children use it? How canwe secure it? Provide four references with your answer. Two of the refernces can be from an article and the other two from websites.
Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
